Notes: Laid down for the Royal Navy as the V-class destroyer Valentine; transferred to the Royal Canadian Navy on completion and renamed Algonquin. Escorted the aircraft carriers that bombed the Tirpitz in March 1944 and provided naval gunfire support to the Normandy landings at Juno beach. She served on additional anti-shipping operations along the Norwegian coast through the remainder of 1944. Returned to Canada in Feb 1945 to prepare for operations in the Pacific but the war ended before her arrival in that theater. Decommissioned in 1946 and laid up in British Columbia. Converted at Esquimalt Dockyard in 1953 to a Type 15 antisubmarine frigate and returned to service, basing in Halifax. Spent the majority of her remaining career in the Atlantic, being decommissioned in 1970.
